Fawad Hakimi had denied the offences but was convicted by a jury at Wolverhampton Crown Court on Thursday after the women he attacked bravely gave evidence.
The 29-year-old was arrested just days after he attempted to rape a woman after breaking into her Wednesfield home in August of last year.
Investigators recovered a jacket from nearby bushes during a search of the area and a cigarette butt found at the scene.
The items were forensically examined and DNA from them matched Hakimi's.
He was also identified after he used a bank card he had stolen from the woman's house at a shop in Wolverhampton.
That forensic evidence also linked him to a sexual assault which took place just days earlier, when he attacked another woman as she walked towards her home in Wednesfield.
